Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 12, 1906.

Application filed Pacember l, 1905. Serial No. 289,8(19.

bined construction a plurality of devices for.

acting variously on a person when the brush 1s 1n use.

I will describe a brush embodying my invention and then point out the novel feai tures in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, formin a part of this specifi cation, in which si ar characters of reference 1ndicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure'l is a bottom plan-of a brush embodying my invention with away to show other parts. Fig. 2 is .a top plan thereof. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig.4 is a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the frame or back of the brush, consisting of flexible materialsuch, for instance, as soft rubber. For the sake of lightness and also to reduce the cost of manufacture this frame or back is made in skeleton form, as clearly indicated inFig. 2. The rubbing surface of the brush consists of rojections 6, consisting of rubber extended om the frame or back and adapted to readily yieldwhen moved over a persons body. On the ends of the frame or ack and consisting of yielding rubber are segmental scrapers 7, which, to rovide for sufii cient rigidity, are somewhat t 'cker at thebase than at the free edges. These scrapers are not only designed to remove wrinkles from a persons face, but are also designed to remove dirt from the body.

At the center of the brush is an opening through which a massage-roller 8 extends.

This roller is circumferentially ribbed and.

consists, preferably, of rubber. It is mounted in a casing 9, of suitable metal, and rotates on a rod 10, extended lengthwise through the casin The casing is secured at its ends to the side members of the frame or back by means of screws 9*, as indicated in Fig. 2, which will not only firmly hold the casing in parts broken.

position, but will prevent lateral spreading of the brush. The casing at the to 1s r0- vided with perforations 11', throug W oh the prongs of a wire handle may be passed when a rigid handle is desired. The brush 1s also provided with a hand-strap consisting of two sections 12 13, respective y, connected to opposite sides of the rush frame or back and engaged one with the other at the free ends by means of a button 14.

Extended between the center bars of the frame or back and near the ends are shortrods 15, with which the endsof straps or the like may be connected so that the brush may be readily moved over portions of the body that could not be otherwise reached. Embedded in the frame or back, above the rubbing-surface, at each side of the roller are four magnetic plates 16, the plates of a side engaging one against another. These plates are designed to form a compound magnetic battery on each side of the roller.

Having thus described my inventlon, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A brush comprising a back of yieldlng material, a rubbing-surface of yielding material connected to the back, and a massageroller arranged in the brush.

2. A brush comprising a backof yleld ng material, a rubbing-surface thereon conslsting of yielding pro'ections, the said brush having an opening t ough it, a metal casing arranged over said opening and a ribbed roller mounted to rotate in the casing.

3. A brush comprising a back of skeleton form, a flexible rubbing-surface on said back, and rods arranged in said back near the ends, engaging with straps.

4. A brush comprising a back, having an opening through it, ayielding rubbing-surface on the back, a massage-roller arranged in said 0 ening, and a casin extended over the roller and provided wit perforations to receive members of a handle.

5. A brush comprising a back of flexible material, a rubbing-surface on the back, consisting of soft-rubber projections, a roller sup orted in the brush, and a hand-strap attac ed to the brush-back.

6. A brush comprisin a frame of yieldi'n material, a yielding rub hing-surface on sal frame, yielding scra ers extended from the frame and a circu erentially-ribbed roller mounted in the brush.

7. A brush comprising a back or frame of name to this specification in the presence of skeetfon form, 121 yualding brush material on two subscribing witnesses. sai rame, a an -stra consisting 0 two 7 sections connected to ogposite sides of the ROBERT WILLIAMS 5 frame, and means for detachably securing the Witnesses:

free ends of the sections to ether. W. E. HABLAN,
